Kaizer Chiefs Football Club to become a threat and tough competitor to many teams in the DSTV Premiership 2024/2025 season.
Following the good if not an excellent record of their newly appointed head Coach Mohamed Nasreddine Nabi, Kaizer Chiefs fans are convinced that the team stands a chance to dominate in the league.
The two parties have agreed on a two-year contract with an option to extend it by one year.
“After what has been a fairly exhaustive vetting process, it gives us great pleasure to finally welcome our new head coach to Kaizer Chiefs,” says Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr. “We believe we have found the right man to fulfil our vision of restoring Amakhosi to our rightful place at the top of the football pyramid, and we welcome coach Nabi and his technical team with the pledge of unity and support in pursuit of our common goal.”
